Bored Paparazzi

P.S. Chong's smileys in his emails are terrorizing me.

Hello

I miss class already.

OP is boring though discussing/gossiping with PW group is fun. I was distracted by Chong's new hairstyle. And Rebecca was distracted by his cracking of knuckles during our dry run. It was like he wanted to punch us. Great.

Okay I am bored and I should be memorising my OP script now.

xoxo
Out-of-job paparazzi

P.S. Can't wait for Promos results on Friday.

For the first time, GC is awesome.

Because most of the videos I took can be used to blackmail you all :D

Epic lines like:

Sunny - I know this school sucks.
DJ - I think Singapore education system got problem.
YG - I had interesting memories with some unbelievable people, such as people who force me to wear this (long) skirt. + I think this school sucks but according to Ms Sun, I must to lie to myself this school is fun. + This school makes me feel like not only getting out of the school but getting out of the country!
Mike - The reason that I took Bio is because I know there will be more girls than guys.
WC - Everybody here will be *long pause* friends for life.
Dawn - You learn a lot of interesting things... like... Econs.
Joseph - I like the camera. I like attention.
Ann - Proud to be is not a good slogan for NJ.
Adrian - Why I come NJC?! + Free chicken rice ah you all.

and etc.

I love this lesson for the first time. To quote Ann: "Today was like watching Gossip Girl live" - mugger version. :D

Love
Not-MIA-anymore Paparazzi

P.S. Please don't kill yourself if I post an unglam picture of you.

gone so fast

Hey guys,
Just a shout out to madeline and ruo xin for taking time to post on this blog, awesome work guys!!! as we approach the middle of october, everyone would agree that this year has passed bloody fast and with the impending OP and A lvl chinese exams... ah screw PW... Good luck for everyone toiling WR and slogging out slides for OP. to those mugging for chinese, its gonna be over soon so just chiong the remainding days!!! at least we have a class chalet to look forward to :) so to end off, just some words, " let the play move on, and you may contribute a verse" life only happens once, so treasure every moment of it

cheers,
nerd

CLASS CHALET PART 2!

Hey peeps,

We're gonna have another class chalet during the December Holidays. yay(:

Are you guys willing to pay more for a better chalet? (e.g. better rooms, fully air-conditioned with ore than one bed, and better food)

Emily suggested Aranda Country Club at Pasir Ris. (One night ranges from $250-$450)

If anyone is an Aranda Country Club or NTUC member, we get pretty good discounts, so tell me if you/your parents/relative is one.

We will most likely have it 2D1N on a weekday cause it's cheaper.

Moving on to food, we will pre-order the BBQ food. (And yes, we need people to volunteer to do the barbecueing). And get snacks etc.


Can we set the date on either 1st or 2nd week of December? i.e. 29th Nov-3rd Dec, or 6th -10th Dec? Not sure if there's OGL stuff then though. If I'm not wrong, stuctured timetable only ends last week of Nov (26th Nov).

Please tell me if you can/cannot come/are willing to pay at least $30++/not willing to pay.

And the same thing as last time, everyone pays the same amount whether you stay and eat or not. (sorry if it may seem unfair, but if not we can't cover the cost)

MOST IMPORTANTLY, I NEED A TREASURER/ACCOUNTANT WHO DOES NOT MAKE DWL LIKE ME

Our lives revolve around PW :(

another day of PW. another day of hell. 


anyway, hope you guys had fun during the Games Day. cheers for deng jing, samuel and margaret for winning all the volleyball games! congrats for dawn, emily and shermaine for coming out as the champion! and thanks for the rest (michael, ann, ruo xin, wei chen) for taking part and others for cheering them! 


so, anyone knows what are we going to do tomorrow? o.O


hope it's not another day of PW :(


xoxo
-j.

Yay Promos is (almost) over!!!!

Bio was a mess, Maths was disappointing and Chem was nerve-wrecking. I don't even want to talk about Econs and GP.

But they are over now and what's done are already done, and there is no point whining over them now! Which leads to another thing we can whine about - PW.

Yup, WR draft on Mon and I&R draft on next next Mon I think? Does anyone even remember what I&R is really about without looking at the notes? Asking us NOT to write about personal feelings in I&R is practically defying the meaning of reflection. Or I am just complaining.

Not to forget OP, which sucks for people like me who prefer to type than talk. The true liberation will only come in December.

So tired I am going to sleep now.

Love,
MIA Paparazzi

P.S. Madeline are we having a class chalet?

Good luck for promos, people.
We need it. At least I do. Lots of it.
Remember to come to school on friday!!
Hahah, don't oversleep.
Drink coffee or red bull or brands and lots of water!
Take care, and jiayou 10SH11!

Love, madelinexxx.

p.s. doubt anyone actually reads this, but if you are reading this, you have nothing better to do! GO STUDY!! :D

Sunny's epic face

When she saw 13 people missing. Feel sorry for her but oh well.

I think we may have broke the record in NJ for most number of people absent from school on one day.

Just saying,
Paparazzi

P.S. Glee is AWESOME.

official class photos :)

Reminder

Since school is starting in approximately 20 hours, here's a reminder for everyone:

1. The school starts at 7.40AM (*coughs*DengJing*coughs*)
2. Bring anything that contains caffeine (not drugs though!)
3. Bring your pens (or use your blood to write)
4. Wear your proper pants/skirts (SHARON PHUAAA!!!!)
5. Tuck in your uniforms (SHARON PHUA AGAIN!!!!!!!)
6. ECONS QUIZ (bo-ring)
7. WR draft 1 deadline
8. GP TIMED COMPREHENSION PRACTICE, INCLUDING AQ, AFTER SCHOOL, 4.30PM TO 6PM (FML)
9. Collar pins (front row people!!!)
10. Whine about how freakishly short the holiday was and how unfruitful it was (at least, for some of us)

Last but not least, please don't leave your brains at home. Thank you.

Love,
Paparazzi

P.S. I still have my camera with me.

Our not so holiday-ish holiday

Hello :)

Are you all surviving? Are your brain cells still alive?? I hope they are not like this blog which only shows signs of life every 1 month.

Not that I want to dampen your spirits, which probably are already almost extinct at this time, but I am going to list out our homework and hope that someone can correct me if I get anything wrong. So here we go:

1. Maths revision package
2. Chemistry tutorialS
3. WR!!!

That's all for the official homework right?? I know we have to study for another whole bunch of stuffs BTW.

On another totally different note, who wants to be OGL?

Okay, that's random. Go watch Resident Evil. You will see your good friends there aka the zombies.

Bye :D

Love,
Paparazzi

Hello. Teacher's Day is coming up:) Tues will be TDC as well as ACES day, where we have to dance that "ooo-ooo"song. Anyway, I'll be passing around cards for everyone to write on for the teachers on Monday. Any other suggestions? Should we get sunny something else cause she's our PM? Like a t shirt where we all sign on it? Or food:)

P.S. rmb to do econs essay thingy.

Just a reminder

If anyone is reading this, this is a kind reminder to inform you that shall you attempt to answer Mr Tay's Chem blog, please save a copy of your answer somewhere else first because the last time i tried, the thing didn't work and I lost my answers (which was pretty damn long). TWICE. So yeah.

Good luck!

PROMOS!

Good news:

We have one whole week of holidays after the last paper of Promos.

Bad news:

We have GP and Econs for first day of exam aka Friday, Bio and Maths for second day aka Monday and Chemistry on the third day aka Tuesday.

The school is torturing us. =.=

EOM...

... is annoying. But it will be over soon! To add on to Jenny's post, please remember to print your final EOM (hopefully achieved EE already) on Tuesday along with the cover page available on KM! The deadline is Wednesday!

BTW, 6 more weeks to Promos! Start planning your revision timetable, people! (even though I haven't)

Break a hand!(not literally)
The Paparazzi

P.S. It has been a long time since a new scandal came out, so beware of my camera!

deadline oh deadline

hi guys! jenny here! :)


remember to do your EoM and send to chongee before 8am sunday. though i will have to probably stay up until 2am to do it tonight! o.O


and chem spa is next tue. i hope it will be easier than bio spa (and no one will break any test tube or conical flask! *ruo xin, i am referring to you hahahaha*) 


*cross fingers*


oh well, if you have free time, you should watch SALT or STEP UP 3 (it's AWESOME!!! must watch!)


auf wiedersehen! 

Happy National Day

And Happy Mugging Holiday!

I am so inspired I wrote this:

We, the muggers of NJC,
Pledge ourselves as one united bookworms,
Regardless of stream, results and laziness,
To pass the nonsensical crappy tests,
We have to take after the long weekend,
So as to achieve anything that's not U and
S grade for our Promos.

So basically I am doing anything but mugging. Yeah.

Again, that is, if anyone is even reading this,
Happy National Day and Happy Mugging Holiday :D

It's the 43rd National Day Celebration in NJC!

Plus Chem trial SPA:



Plus Econs make-up lesson.

But the pizzas were awesome.

And Lignum's performance was really awesome! XD


Though the Annoying Orange vs Merlion scene by Aqua was quite interesting too XD


Kudos to all the performers! :D

Let's hope that while mugging for Econs(PC and Monopoly), Chem(Energetics and Entropy) and Bio(Stem Cell), you get to enjoy a bit of the long weekend holiday! :D

Wish all Singaporeans and Singaporean wannabe an early Happy National Day! :D

I think the layout is really ugly. I think I deleted the original one. Anyone wanna change this one?

The Paparazzi Is Here

Hi, I guess I am the second one to revive the blog. I have a strong feeling the paparazzi snapshots thing is targeted at me.

And so I shall live up to Madeline's expectation!!! After terrorizing people on Facebook, I have found a "safer" place (because I don't think anyone else other than our class read this blog) to post photos :D Especially "scandalous" ones. :)

BTW, I have a strong feeling (again) that Ms Sun is not as simple as she looks. Or sounds. Or whatever. Because I totally feel bad for her now that she has to treat the whole class to pizza. I shall attempt to get at least a D for Econs so that she won't turn the next parent-teacher meeting into an Econs consultation period for me and my dad.

That's all. Work hard everyone! :D

And expect more photos to come! XP

P.S. I am unusually talkative on blogs and facebook and anywhere except real life. Forgive me :)

this blog is alive(:

I am bored. So I will revive this blog, and hopefully it becomes more..alive?

Ill add everyone as a blog author so we can all post things.

Anyway, tomorrow is NDC! I dont why i'm patriotic about it. Wear a red shirt tmr. Anyone has disposable table cloth? Or black rubbish bags? I didnt take the black rubbish bags from chalet. Bring tomorrow. Also, bring any food if you want to share then we can eat during NDC xp.

Ooh, I cant wait for pizza. Sunny is nice to us. She knows the good food too. So we shall get at least Ds and get more pizza. What else??

Oh you can publicize your announcements/PW stuff/paparazzi snapshots/hw/funny videos etc here.

Good luck for chem trial SPA.

Cant think of anything more. Seeya

YOYOYOYOYOYOYO!!!!!!!

haha hey ppl!!!

Joseph here. Okay I know i haven't been updating for eons, cos of council campaigning then elects camp and then boarding, but yupyup now that it's all over I guess I'm temporarily freer!!!! WOO!!!

First things first:

THANK YOU FOR VOTING!!!!!!=D HAVE HUGS AND KISSES.

Haha. yup. It's all because of you ppl that I stand where I am today. so yeah - the next step now is that I'm running for Lignum House Captain, so yeah must please support me if I do get it ok??? =D

Reminder for those students under Ms Matilda Ang for GP class: finish your GP essay and hand in by tues morning before assembly.

Hey guys, Scholars, Champions, Leaders, Titans and Nationalists!

April is coming to an end and the dreaded common tests are arriving... However, amidst the confusion and pain of not understanding anything during lectures(yes Math im talking to you), the constant re-doing of PIs like a depthcharge blowing your brains into pieces( i still dont get the evaluation part), the light at the end of the tunnel is brighter than ever before. We know that after these 2 years of hardcore mugging, we will look back upon time and smile knowing well that our A Levels are well done and these 2 years was worth the stress.

Thus this brings me to this week's quote, " Nothing in this world that is worth having comes easy" Dr Kelso, Scubs. BTW, today's bio/chem lecture was hilarious when everyone was sleeping HAHAHA!!

PS. Ironman 2 will be showing on 30th April so remember to cath it!

Cheers

If you havent or cant log on to KM, here's the econs graded assignment question.

"Despite the recession continuing since 2008...there was an increase in the number of launches of new private luxurious condominiums...Prices of luxurious condominiums rose in 2o09..."
the straits times 2009

Using economic analysis, reconcile the paradox in the private luxurious condominiums market. [10marks]

Verbatim

hey guys, just two things i'd like to raise,

1) in lieu of our school's crappy egregious quotes on Mondays, done based on expedience's sake, i would be posting quotes onto this blog which hold much more meaning and depth. i'll try to post it as frequent as possible, depending on how much homework i have k?


" success is jumping from failure to failure without the loss of enthusiasm" Winston Churchill


2) i'd like to raise your awareness of the Heart2Heart campaign. This is organised by the St John Ambulance Brigade in conjunction with the Singapore Heart Foundation. Please support this event as there would most probably be a sale of the Heart2Heart package on the 29 May in NJC.

Go Nationalists of 10SH11,
cheers!!

Subway

Sale of Subway next Tues (6 Apr)
the list is with me so if you wanna order food (sandwiches/cookies), please write your name on the form by this Thurs and pay the money too.
We can order cookies as a class too. 1 dozen=$12.50

(:

PW stuff. The one the PW teacher asked us to copy down.
I only typed out amalgamation cause that's the one I was doing.

Amalgamation
1. Describe the identified amalgamation
-specific details (what – name, etc; features; explain amalgamation process in detail; how it worked)

-give reasons for choice and type of amalgamation

-lessons learnt – how was amalgamation done?

-- describe features

-- show how they brought beneficial effects

--compare and contrast efforts

2. Identify impacts on those concerned (positive and negative)

-[specific] what successes were attained

-contrast if there had been NO amalgamation

-identify also the repercussions/side effects

-why still recommend the amalgamation despite the consequences

3. Suggest how lessons learnt can be used to develop strategies to deal with similar circumstances in the future

-choose similar circumstances [give reasons for choice; describe new amalgamation]

*show how they are similar

-how will the new amalgamation be done? [strategies, describe]

Explain process in detail, how parallels, and how it will work

Describe how this will be implemented

4. Lessons learnt

-describe transfer of features from example

-show how the process works

-compare and contrast before and after developments

*[primary sources: interviews, surveys] evaluate effectiveness/impacts

Positive [successes to be gained]

Negative [acknowledge the limitations, repercussions and how this might be addressed]

Hope it's useful.

Here are the upcoming tests for the next few weeks
Chem: 30th March (Tues)
Stoichiometry, Redox, VA, Electronic Structure, Gases, Physical Periodicity (fundamentals)
Econs: Week 3
Bio: 6th April (Tues)
10 MCQs, 1 SQ
Biological Molecules, Cell Structure, Plasma Membrane, Enzymes
GP: 12th April (Mon)
Transposition/Summary
Maths: 15th April (Thurs)
Sequences and Series, Binomial Expansion, AP/GP, Mathematical Induction

correct me if im wrong. thanks.

I WANT YOUR LOVE AND I WANT YOUR REVENGE, YOU AND ME, COULD WRITE A BAD ROMANCE.

Haha. The only thing I remember from lectures this week.

Homework for the weekend:

1) Bio SPA. Finish questions by monday.

2) Chem SPA. Finish questions by monday too. NOT fake one. =P

3) First Draft of PI by Monday.

4) Chinese (those under Ms Liu Anna and possibly others) - Do the green booklet, finish the lessons on the mum beating the child. And try to chiong the rest so you dont have to do it next time.

5) Chem lecture test on Tues on Atoms, Molecules and Stoichiometry, Redox, VA, Electronic Structure, Gases and Physical Periodicity. Also NOT fake one.




So yeah, Term 2 has started, and not sure whether you people feel the same way, but I feel so dead. Like, everyday's coming home at 8+, chiong homework till 1+ am, drag my weary body to bed and wake up at 5am the same morning to go to school. I'm sure most of you feel stressed out about having to finish tutorials, SPAs and now, PW, and the new school system where you bring you bags around must have brought about backaches for many. It's tiring, exasperating and pushing us to our limits.

I think what Ms Sun briefly shared during GC is quite true. In JC, we really have to take care of ourselves physically and more importantly, mentally. Every second wasted on worrying and being sick could have been used on something much more productive. We never want to fall ill. Unequivocally, we all know how to take care of ourselves physically - healthy eating and exercise. How you take care of yourself mentally, though, is about finding the little things that get you through the day: whether it's the support of someone close to you, or letting yourself feel overwhelmed, only for a moment, or being selfless when the time comes. It's all about the little things, any things.

HEY!!!!

Yo people!!!

Here are the homework for this holidays:

1) Econs group project (do on the mahjong paper that was handed to your leaders)

2) Maths CA assessment, on the GC thing.

3) Chem holiday homework. The piece of paper Mrs Poon handed out during SPA with questions.

4) Bio esaay questions for the first tutorial set and finish up second set. We're definitely going to start on it soon. *UPDATED 16/3* Do finish up the MCQ worksheet on "Cell Structure and Functions".

5) Chinese homework for those under Ms Liu Anna (and maybe other teachers). Do the exercise on the chinatown lesson from the green cl book.



As term 1 draws to a close, I'm sure many of you are looking forward to enjoying your holidays and quickly chiong homework so you can slack for the rest of the holidays. But have you guys looked back and noticed that 2 months in NJ is already gone? Term 1 is over, and that means 1/8 of our JC life is gone. What have you done in this term that you'll carry on as happy memories into the future? What are the little mistakes that you think will haunt you? What is the attitude that you are going to take up when term 2 begins and we are thrown back into that pit of temptations?

JC life isn't easy, I'm sure most of you would have known by now. We have to balance our social and academic life - go on outings/parties, participate actively in CCAs, mix around with everyone and make new friends, reminisce the good times with our secondary school mates, chiong homework, mug for tests, consolidate everything and still get our As. But what I think is going to make this life different is our attitude. We can come to school everyday with the "wah seh everyone is so sian, this school is so stressful, everyday go home at 8+ and still must do hw and mug, i'm going to die already" mentality, begin the day with a black face and bring down the mood for everyone, or we can choose to make a difference by taking everyday as its own.

A new day, a new chance to own it.

Let go of yesterday's burdens, failures, worries and troubles. Take on today's hope, love, enthusiasm and happiness. Approach things that come your way with a smile and a "can-do" spirit. Believe me, you'll find that life is so much brighter. Happier. A hope that entwines itself around you and make you stand out. CCAs will be a breeze. An escape, not a burden. Homework will be fun. Classmates endowed with a smile will look your way. Tutors jump into class everyday exuding zeal because they feed on our energy. Exams are so much less daunting.

And at the end of the 2 years, you'll be saying, "It was worth it.".

"A living soul lives; that's why a dead spirit doesn't." Let's take term 2 with a positive mindset and show everyone that we're capable. We're competent. We're gifted.

We're 10SH11!!! =D

Jiayou!!!!!

Homework
